Hello everyone, My name is Billie. I'm 29 years old. I have been overweight my whole life. After pregnancy two years ago, I've had HBP & Adema ever since.

Hoping to be able to chase my little man around the yard & not have to take a break, because Mommy's out of shape!!

Recently I went to Dr. Speigals office for a consult. My surgery is scheduled for September 17, 2010. My insurance will NOT cover my surgery so I am financing a personal loan through my bank.

Can't wait to be a thinner me!!

I am a self-pay too. I wish insurance would pay but I am not that lucky. I wish you well on your journey.

Thank you! Me too, but I hope it will be well worth it. I've heard some horror stories, and some wonderful stories... keep in touch! ♥
